Moving from the excitement and beauty of Takodana and Theed, flying into the stars should have made for an exciting experience.
Starfighter Assaults are just as tiresome as in the original. Filled with towering golden statues and sweeping city streets, Theed was a sight to behold. Theed was another great map, featuring the city in all its shiny splendour. Takodana’s map featured Maz’s palace, which was very well replicated from Force Awakens, and filled with nooks and crannies to hide in and fight from. Takodana and Theed are both brilliantly designed maps.īy far the most exciting maps available to players for the Beta were Theed, capital of Naboo and Takodana, home to Maz Kanata. Here’s a few things that we learned in our time with the game. As well as Strike Mode, the beta played host to other challenges, such as the Galactic and Starfighter Assaults and co-op Arcade mode. Chief among the modes present was the ultra fun Strike Mode, which allowed players to take on the roles of either the First Order or the rebels in their attempt to defend or rescue an ancient artefact. This week we had the chance to explore the open beta version of Star Wars Battlefront II, which featured a limited range of maps and modes to explore, as well as new characters, weapons and a whole lot of loot.
